Description
By the time she published "Silent Spring" in 1963, Rachel Carson had suffered a bout with cancer and the admonishment of friends who tried to convince her that a book on the chemical poisoning of the environment was too depressing for anyone to read. When "Silent Spring" was published, Carson was viciously attacked. Huge sums of money were spent to discredit her. The smear campaign backfired. The book sparked a revolution in government environmental policy.
